Where and when did the first people appear on Earth? Which continent should be considered the cradle of humanity? There is no definite answer to this question. For example, according to the Bible, Adam and Eve were expelled from paradise in the Middle East. Academic science believes that humanity originated in East Africa about 10 thousand years ago. And the peoples of Southeast Asia, Polynesia, South America claim to be the descendants of people who escaped from the large southern continent, plunged into the ocean abyss as a result of a planetary disaster. This hypothetical continent in the Indian Ocean has several names: Lemuria, Mu, Chitida.
Colonel Churchward's find
In 1870, one of the detachments of the Bengal Cavalry Corps, making a raid in northern India, camped near a Buddhist monastery. The commander, Colonel James Churchward, an inquisitive man interested in the history and philosophy of the East, went to visit the monks. The lamas received him with oriental hospitality, fed him a simple, but delicious and hearty dinner. After the meal, the colonel asked if there were any documents in the monastery describing the events that happened in this place in ancient times. And the abbot showed him clay tablets with a text that many generations of monks could not read. James took these ancient letters in his hands, and his heart beat faster. Intuitively, the colonel realized that he was on the verge of a great discovery and that the decoding of this text would glorify his name in the world of science.

It is not known how Churchward managed to persuade the monks to give him these clay tablets. But they ended up with the colonel, and he devoted many years to deciphering the text. In the end, he succeeded.
To Churchward's credit, he did not make secrets from the contents of ancient documents. But it said about such incredible things that the scientific world simply did not believe the researcher, and the article where he talked about his discovery was considered a newspaper duck.

Magic world
Clay tablets told about a huge southern continent, stretching across the vastness of the present Indian and Pacific Oceans. It stretched from Hawaii in the north to a line in the southern part of the ocean connecting Easter Islands and Fiji. The continent was 8,000 kilometers long and nearly 5,000 kilometers wide. And amazing people lived here - the progenitors of all modern mankind.
The tablets call this ancient continent Chitida. The most interesting thing is that it is named in the same way in the tales of the Tamils, one of the Indian peoples. They speak of the southern continent and the great exodus from it, headed by the god Shiva, before this continent was swallowed up by the deep sea.
The texts deciphered by Churchward describe Hitida as an earthly paradise. Tropical climate, plains with evergreen pastures and cultivated fields producing rich harvests, abundance of lush vegetation. Cities and villages were connected by wide, flat roads, lined with stone slabs, fitted to each other so tightly that a blade of grass could not break through between them. Shady palm groves stretched along the roads. In the valleys flowed smooth clean rivers, lakes glittered in the sun, on the mirror surface of which the sacred lotus flowers blossomed.
This continent was inhabited by people with yellow, brown and black skin, but the main inhabitants were pale-faced with large eyes and red hair. The entire population of Khitida was over 60 million people. The Chitideans possessed properties inaccessible to modern humanity: the gift of clairvoyance, telepathy, teleportation, levitation. They could make astral travel, knew how to use the energy of the sun and crystals. Science did not play a big role in this civilization. For the Chitideans, unity with nature was more important, from which they drew their strength and capabilities. In particular, they were able to outrun any animal, because they moved, taking full advantage of the sensory ability to run. They projected the direction of movement using their senses and chose the path of least resistance.
The texts deciphered by Churchward also speak of the seven main cities of the Hitida. They were centers of science and religion, education and trade. The temples were created of carved stone and did not have roofs for the rays of the sun to illuminate the worshipers. Huge translucent palaces and imposing monolithic monuments created a feeling of eternity and unshakability. And there was another secret object in the very center of the continent - the city of Tara. All its infrastructure was in a deep dungeon. And thanks to this, some of the inhabitants of Khitida escaped in the days of a global catastrophe.
Catastrophe
The Chitid civilization flourished for 4500 years. But one day the irreparable happened: the Earth collided with a large asteroid. The planet was shaken by a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Her whole appearance has changed. The continents went under water, land rose in place of the seas. The vast southern mainland fell apart like a shattered mirror. These fragments were slowly sinking to the ocean floor. The tsunami wave washed away cities, villages, people, destroyed plants and animals. Only the highest points of the continent remained above the ocean surface. These are the current Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Hindustan, the islands of the Indian Ocean and Polynesia, Hawaii.

When the catastrophe began, the ruler of the city of Tara ordered to open the entrances to the secret tunnels and took tens of thousands of people into the underworld. They had to live there for several decades until the planet calmed down. Earthquakes subsided, volcanoes stopped erupting lava flows, new continents were covered with vegetation, and people were able to get to the surface. But some of the Chitideans remained to live in the underworld. It is possible that this civilization still exists.
Is this possible? Judge for yourself. At the end of the 19th century, strange humanoid creatures were seen in the foothills of the Shasta volcano in California, extinct in prehistoric times. Sometimes they came to the settlements of miners, demanded food, offering in return huge gold bars. At the same time, they explained by gestures that they were the descendants of the surviving representatives of some ancient civilization, whose continent had perished under water. When an expedition of scientists went to the volcano, the creatures disappeared and did not appear again. Obviously, the excessive attention to them did not please them at all.
Scientific evidence
Is there any evidence of the existence of an ancient continent with the primitive civilization of earthlings?
In 1860, British geologist William Blanford, studying fossil plants in ancient rocks of Africa and India, discovered a surprising similarity between the finds. But how is this possible if the investigated land areas were separated by many kilometers of water space? The scientist came to the conclusion that an ancient continent existed on the site of the Indian Ocean.
A couple of years after that, the Dutch zoologist Karel Philip Slater, studying lemurs, drew attention to the fact that these primates live both in Madagascar and in India, and there is an ocean between them. At the same time, in Madagascar, the flora and fauna are completely different from the African, despite the proximity of this continent. Slater supported Blanford's hypothesis about the existence of a large continent in the Indian Ocean and named it Lemuria in honor of his “favorites”.
In 1868, German biologist Ernst Haeckel proved that lemurs could only have originated on the mainland. And later the scientist came to a sensational conclusion: none of the existing continents could be the ancestral home of mankind. In his opinion, the first people appeared on a certain continent, now under the waters of the Indian Ocean.
In 1895, the French scientist Auguste Le-Plongeon, while on the Yucatan Peninsula, discovered an inscription on the walls of one of the Mayan temples. It read: "This temple was built in memory of the distant land of Mu - the birthplace of our sacred mysteries." The archaeologist suggested that the sanctuary was built by the descendants of people who escaped from the sunken southern mainland, to which he gave another name - Mu.
But, whatever you call the continent, which became the cradle of humanity, academic science still denies its existence. It is possible that in the future there will be more solid evidence that will dispel the skepticism of retrogrades from science.
